In the present era of globalization, easy and speedy accessibility, as well as, distribution of information has brought such tremendous changes to every industry. This also includes the tourism service, where the role of IT has become of great considerable importance. This is clearly seen from its role in resourcefully facilitating tourists' accessibility to information. Tourism entrepreneurs or service providers also utilize on-line services to provide the necessary information contributing to business knowledge, which eventually leads to the transaction of business.

With this in mind, the www.thailandtourismdirectory.com is another useful website to suit the needs of tourists, where direct access to a diverse range of tourist providers in various businesses like tourist attractions, accommodation, restaurants, or other services, can be conveniently made. Provided with such a complete list of tourist business operators, this on-line website favorably accommodates the tourism industry by giving international tourists direct accessibility to various services. Tourists are, thus, able to realistically visualize Thailand via these services and make thorough decisions regarding their tourism transactions.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is therefore pleased to learn of this useful website and trust that www.thailandtourismdirectory.com would prove beneficial to tourists and tourist business providers as a valuable mode of communication among themselves. This will, thus, bring a mutual understanding leading to more travel to the kingdom, which coincides with the TAT's marketing plan in the progressive development of the tourism industry for the future.
